    Hi,

    I'm part way through designing my website http://exercross.com and would like a suggestion for a font to use for the headers.
    The sites suppose to be a bit dynamic and the font I've got is safe but boring. Every time I look at it I want to go to sleep. So if you have any ideas I'd appreciate them very much

    Cheers Don

    Do you mean the banner or the top navigation bar ?
    If you mean the banner then I think it looks just fine, but I would change the font of the nav bar. Be careful though - don't use anything too odd, and remember that if the visitor doesn't have the specific font you used on their system it will be substituted for something else in the browser, and this could really mess up the nav bar. You could use a little script to get the visitor's browser to download the font automatically, but generally it's best to stick to the main group of fonts (arial, sans serif etc).
    Obviously this doesn't apply to fonts used in graphics such as banners, so long as they are part of the banner and not layered over the banner as selectable text (if you see what I mean).
